Upon her release, she finds her son Charlie living in a foster family. Trying to put her life together, Suzanne nevertheless falls into old habits when Julien finds her on a bus and persuades her to leave for Morocco with him. Once again abandoning her family, Suzanne has a second child. Returning home she goes to visit her mother's grave and discovers that during her absence her sister Maria has died.
